The Fethard-On-Sea Boycott

By Tim Fanning, 2010
In 1957, Sheila Cloney, Protestant wife of a Catholic farmer, fled her home after refusing to bow to the demands of the local Catholic clergy.
In response, the priests launched a boycott of Fethard's Protestant shopkeepers and farmers.

This is a superbly researched and thought- provoking account.
